I have a bad plug end on a lead....and it causes radio noise which goes away when doing a mag check......the bad lead corresponds to the proper mag when I do the check. I twisted the nut once without holding the ferrule and destroyed the shielding at the ferrule. I think the easiest fix is to cut off and the plug end and slide the assembly up and properly assemble the lead with the shield intact......I am pretty sure I have enough lead to allow for that.........I find I can not buy the parts to just do that part of the job .... purchase of a single lead will require removal of the back of the mag (and whole harness) or I can replace the whole harness.


Has anyone been able to knock out the "Drive Ferrule", and remove the Screw and Spring and re-use them?
